Find out about pediatric and obstetric malpractice, birth injuries and conditions that may result from medical negligence involving your child, whether you may have grounds for a medical malpractice case, and what you can do next.

Whether you seek medical treatment because your child is sick or they are just entering the world, you entrust them to the care of those capable of protecting their health. Unfortunately, doctors, medical professionals, and facilities can simply fail to fulfill their responsibilities. The consequences of their negligence can be permanent and catastrophic. From birth injuries to failure to diagnose conditions like meningitis, medical negligence involving infants and children happens far too often. If your child has been injured as a result of pediatric or obstetric malpractice, you may feel powerless. You’re not.
